ਆਪੇ ਸਚਾ ਸਚੀ ਨਾਈ ॥
aapay sachaa sachee naa-ee.
He Himself is True, and True is His Name.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਦੇਵੈ ਮੰਨਿ ਵਸਾਈ ॥
gurmukh dayvai man vasaa-ee.
The Gurmukh bestows it, and enshrines it within the mind.
ਜਿਨ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਸੇ ਜਨ ਸੋਹਹਿ ਤਿਨ ਸਿਰਿ ਚੂਕਾ ਕਾਹਾ ਹੇ ॥੮॥
jin man vasi-aa say jan soheh tin sir chookaa kaahaa hay. ||8||
Noble and exalted are those, within whose mind the Lord abides. Their heads are free of strife. ||8||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is true, and so is its Name.
The Guru places that Naam within the heart.
Those who carry it inside grow noble and calm, their minds free of quarreling and strife.
The Name settles the quarrels we carry inside.
Tin sir chookaa kaahaa — their heads are free of strife (kaahaa, quarrel). Carrying the Name inward settles the restless arguing of the ego. Nobility here is inner peace, not rank.
